# @birdie-so/snippet

Easily integrate the Birdie screen recording snippet into your application using modern frameworks like **React**, **Vue**, **Angular**, or plain **JavaScript** — with full control over initialization, metadata, and event hooks.

> ⚡ This package is a helper utility for integrating Birdie.  
> **You must have a Birdie account and a valid `clientId` to use this package.**  
> It does **not work on its own** — visit [https://app.birdie.so](https://app.birdie.so) to get started.

> ⚡ The core logic is still loaded from our CDN. This package is just a light wrapper for easier integration and customization.

## 🚀 Installation

```bash
npm install @birdie-so/snippet
# or
yarn add @birdie-so/snippet
```

---

## ✨ Quick Start

### React / Vue / Angular / JS

```js
import { initBirdie } from "@birdie-so/snippet";

initBirdie({
  clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", // required

  // Optional metadata available to recordings
  metadata: {
    user: {
      id: "123",
      email: "user@example.com",
    },
  },

  // Optional hook once Birdie is ready
  onReady(birdie) {
    birdie.on("start", (data) => {
      console.log("Recording started", data);
      birdie.metadata = { dynamicKey: "value" };
    });

    birdie.on("stop", (data) => {
      console.log("Recording stopped", data);
    });
  },
});
```

## 🧠 How It Works

This package:

- Injects the Birdie CDN snippet dynamically using your `clientId`.
- Sets global `window.birdieSettings` before loading.
- Registers event callbacks once the Birdie SDK is ready (`window.birdie` is available).

Your original snippet like this:

```html
<script>
  window.birdieSettings = {
    /* ... */
  };
</script>
<script src="https://app.birdie.so/widget/embed/YOUR_CLIENT_ID"></script>
```

Is now handled via code with `initBirdie()`.

## 🧩 Advanced

### Get Birdie instance later

```js
import { getBirdieInstance } from "@birdie-so/snippet";

getBirdieInstance((birdie) => {
  birdie.on("start", () => {
    console.log("Recording started!");
  });
});
```

Or synchronously:

```js
const birdie = getBirdieInstance();
if (birdie) {
  birdie.metadata = { key: "value" };
}
```
